Are there any plans, with QT3 introduction (which is probably able to do 
that), to make DPI switchable?
My X server suggest that I have 75x75 dpi. Windows - 96x96.
I don't know who is *right*
But, may be, offering option of "other dpi", at least in apps affected by 
this (Konqi for Web Browsing, KOffice), can be very good for users coming 
from Windows/Mac?

I know that you can point out to me "to change X settings"
Unfortunately, there is no KControl module for that. :-(

Another point: "ask your distributor"
Well, I am on stock LM, and I got no explanation from Mandrake maintainer of 
XFree86, how dpi is selected by default during installation.

So, configurable DPI can be a very big plus :-))
